Reviews
I met our daughter in law and grand children here. It is a great place for children. The staff are very knowledgeable and so great to visitors, old or young.
Our grandchildren love visiting Exploration Place and learn so much. Its like a mini- science world.
As a grandparent, it's a must go place in PG to enjoy with your grandchildren.

I haven't been for brunch in a while and I'm so happy that when I got the chance to go I chose Cafe Lawnder. The food is fantastic and the whole place has a great vibe. We got the french toast, beef kebab shakshuka, turkish coffee and lawnder iced tea. I can't wait to go back to try more of the menu!
Cafe Brio has always held the top spot on my restaurant list. Once again, I opted for the duck breast, my tried-and-true favorite. Though it was slightly drier than usual, it remains my go-to dish at Cafe Brio. The meatball was exceptional—tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. Fresh oysters added a delightful touch. As for the gnocchi carbonara, the gnocchi itself was soft yet chewy, perfectly complemented by the creamy sauce. While the mushroom risotto was decent in flavor, I found the rice slightly undercooked. However, the biggest disappointment was the tough, stringy sirloin—a far cry from appetizing. Even a homemade version would have fared better. Cocktails didn't quite impress, and service was a tad slow. Despite these setbacks, Cafe Brio will remain a favorite, though perhaps not holding onto the top spot anymore.
Cafe Landwer’s always a great spot to have brunch/late night snacks for my coworkers and I. I almost always get the Landwer Shakshuka- its quite filling and tasty! The challah bread is always baked perfectly and the staff members are always a delight!
The only cons are service may be a little slow on the busier days as expected, so just beware of the timing if you’re in a rush!

The best! The most enjoable place for food and coffee (cappuccino)! We had a breakfast with croassaunt and cappuccino! 😋 Awesome service! Quality of food is 5*! Beautifully designed delicious cappuccino!
my favourite cafe in the area, most kind owners, been coming here for years for their ginseng latte! i wish this could be closer to home, but used to come here often during a lunch break (before covid). so happy to know it’s stayed busier, i stop by whenever i get the chance! don’t hesitate to come for coffee. or quick lunch. it’s simple and quick, not anything fancy but the owners put lots of effort into making the food and making sure you have a great experience!
The play was stunning. Really professional!!!
First time there. Cool items on the menu. Had the Sinia Kebab that was delicious. The fresh bread & roasted vegetables were the highlights. The kebab was a bit over cooked. My sister's salmon was good. The cob salad was disappointing because there was no lettuce in it. Usually when you think salad, you think lettuce. The Sangria was delicious. Definitely recommend it.
Avoid going if you can. literally watched a man drop his drug needle on the floor causing it to spill out on the floor i informed one of the workers who was understanding and also concerned. When she tried telling her manager he started yelling at her then at me telling me not to blame him for the drugs being on the floor(which i hadnt...) she kept trying to explain the situation to him but he wasnt having it and threw a fit in front of many customers. Mean while a family with small children proceeded to walk through said drugs unknowingly.
We really loved this place. The food was excellent- the best eggs benedict ever- make sure you get the version on the croissant. The service was prompt and flawless. Can't say enaugh about this place.
Having mixed feelings about this place.
The good:
I’m impressed by the duck breast dish - the duck was cooked on point: tender meat with crispy skin. The potato stick is super crispy on the outside, although a bit salty.
I like that they have wine paring suggestions on the menu, and that they are good.
The not so good:
The rabbit appetizer turns out to be a rabbit ham-ish piece; it’s novel but we didn’t enjoy that much.
The penne dish had good flavor, but the sauce was runny and the pasta itself was meh.
The service was suuuuper slow; I can see that everyone was busy but that didn’t justify the wait for almost 30 minutes for main dish.
The host needs to work on their communication skills. After checked in for our reservation the host mumbled something and seated the people arrived later than us first. Again I could see that everyone was busy but that shouldn’t mean skipping proper communication to customers.

It is hard to mess up breakfast but this place did. I ordered the pancakes and they were like rubber. They were not fluffy at all and very chewy. Another person in my party ordered eggs over medium. They came broken. The server kept reaching in front of us to serve the next person. My husband was getting tired of his arm coming across his face to serve my son. We won’t be back.
They have to upgrade their packaging, for the price charged we expect a better quality of packaging , plus the staff are not really welcoming , won’t do again
Popped in for breakfast as it was very convenient next to our hotel. Was pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere. The service was great, server checked on us but didn’t make us feel rushed at all and the food came out promptly. The food was great, if you like eggs benedict I highly recommend the eggs benedict on the croissant, it was so good! And the crushed potatoes were fabulous. The only thing I would have changed is for the food to be a bit warmer, wasn’t very hot when it came out. My daughter got the London Fog to drink and loved it, my coffee was top notch. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a great breakfast in downtown Toronto!!
Food, service and atmosphere were all nice. All of the ratings are five stars for me. I really like this kind of place. I also like the interior too. Oreo milkshake was the best milkshake I have ever had. I hope to visit here again soon.

Poor customer service here, our server just handed us the bill without asking if we were finished eating. Once we paid there was no thank you mentioned. Not cool at all. Don't recommend to come here unless you want to be treated like garbage.
I would like to drop a review for the older indian guy from this place. I am not sure what his name is, but he has incredible customer service. He is always happy and makes me feel like an actual customer. The rest of the stuff is also friendly and eager to provide great customer service, and their service is timely.
We went to the museum today, but only to check out the store. Lots of Mr PGs and that is what we went for. Greeted by all the staff who offered many amazing factoids even though we were only visiting the store. We also checked out the Cafe and had huge milkshakes that were delicious.
Tim Hortons will always provide you with a nostalgic donut of your choosing however this review is not about the food, but about the staff working here..
Despite the hostile environment that trails in from the Rideau street entrance right next to this location; there is one member of staff that makes this my favourite timmies in the city.
I do not recall his name, but no matter who you are; this short cheerful man will gladly call you friend and ask you how you are. He's all smiles, kindness, and glee.
If they don't have something in stock he's so sorry about it (as if it's his fault), no matter how ridiculous my tea order is he doesn't bat an eye.
He handles everything with a smile and charisma, no matter how bad my day is this guy always makes me cheer up even just a little bit. That goes a long way.

Great bar / cafe area, Good alternative reading material. Good, friendly and efficient staff. Good shows attracting good crowds.
The staff are absolutely lovely, the atmosphere homey and warm, a great neighbourhood spot; all that plus the best quality coffee that doesn't require milk, cream or sugar to make it palatable. If the food only gets 4 stars, that's because I can't eat sugar, flour, etc,
The service at this location is without a doubt the best I've ever experienced. Even if the line is ten people long, it doesn't take more than a couple minutes for them to get to you, and they'll have your food ready in no time at all. The selection is great as well, and the staff are kind and sociable.
Very pleasant atmosphere, Café Deco decor, friendly staff, tasty meals.
My spouse & I have frequented this eatery during our annual vacations for a number of years. This is THEE restaurant we PREFER while in Victoria. Always busy, but there's always a table for us. The food is perfectly prepared and presented. Prices are NOT high. Our number one!
Great Coffee, Great Spicy Grilled Cheese with bacon, Great people, Great Music - just ok not too loud. Relaxing, authentic, genuine.
A pretty cozy coffee shop.
Started going there after the pandemic. Consistently good experience, have never had any issues. Great choice, always tasty, always fresh. Helpful staff. Great coffee. We sometimes dine in, sometimes take out, both work fine.
See you guys soon))

I went here for a group dinner. I recommend making reservations, as the earliest we could get a table on a Saturday night on short notice was 8:30 p.m. Having said that, the wait was totally worth it. The food here was exquisite. We started with oysters which were served with house made sauces.
One thing I really appreciated about this restaurant was that we could order half portions of the main courses. This allowed us to enjoy different things without getting too full.
The server let us know about the daily specials, which all sounded superb. I opted for a half portion of the daily fish special. It was divine.
I finished with cheese, which was served with quince jelly and artisanal crackers.
The server was a total pro and knew just how to manage being attentive without being too much.
This was one of the best restaurant experiences I have had in a long while. I totally recommend this place to anyone who loves good food.

This quaint restaurant is something to take in while in Victoria. The food is great and reasonably priced. Staff/service goes above and beyond. Connor truly makes it a wonderful place. He always goes out of his way to make it great for our elderly mother. .
I’ve been going here even before Covid & it’s an amazing cafe. Busy around lunch time as expected but their coffee are imported from Italy & owner is Italian as well. Took my friend here & things hasn’t change for over 5 years. Exceptional service & food. Love it here. This is the coffee ginseng
This little gem was a great find! It’s a bit hidden as it’s behind and within a larger building. It’s got decent parking and a fair amount of seating. This is a casual eatery/cafe, order at the counter and sit wherever and they will bring you the food. The shopkeepers were super friendly. The price to portion of food was very reasonable! The food was hot, delicious and made to order! My favourite was the prosciutto and egg toast! The espresso beverages taste great. I would highly recommend visiting this cafe if you’re in the area.
Loved every second, the service was so warm it was wonderful. Thank you Skye! The food, no question as to just how tasty it was. The menu prices can't be beaten in comparison to other restaurants of its kind. Still I believe, there are no other restaurants like this place. The art deco atmosphere gave me the feeling of being in the era. So fun! Seriously, worth every single star!
Wonderful comfortable eatery in a historic building in James Bay Area of Victoria presents with good variety of menu offerings. We enjoyed Halibut and chips served with a tangy slaw. All round: Very generous portions. The other choice was liver and onions served with flavourful mashed potatoes and gravy. Lightly steamed fresh veggies completed the plate. Much of the seating is large private booths so we were able to relax and enjoy our visit and get caught up without too loud Muzak interfering. Our pleasant server didnt rush our visit yet was attentive to our needs. A nice evening out - we’ll be back!!
Not worth the experience. We ordered their croissant Benedict, their croissant was cold and was definitely not made on the same day. Their kabab bowl was disappointing as well. There was half an onion in it to make the bowl to have the illusion that there was a lot of food inside but it's not. The waiting list system they used was not very efficient. The time estimate was not accurate (30 minutes longer) and they only give you 5 minutes to get to the restaurant or else the table gets cancelled. Wouldn't recommend.
Overall: 4/5
Food: 4/5 - I got a chicken panini and it was great! It felt like a fresh sandwich, with fresh Italian bread. I'd love to try the hot foods next time.
Service: 5/5. Such friendly and kind staff, really cared if we enjoyed our meal or not, and brought a little flavour of Italy to the room.
Atmosphere: 3/5 nothing bad and nothing special, just more of a food court vibe, but the store itself was great and had Italian snacks, pastries, etc.
Definitely going to come back here to try the warm food :)

Delicious sandwiches made with fresh ingredients and a lot of love! The café has a soul, and the owner puts in effort to ensure everyone leaves satisfied. I highly recommend their beef sandwich and their bagel with egg and turkey. The prices are also very reasonable for the quality they offer. It's important to support local businesses that truly care about their customers.
This place is amazing. A total gem to Prince George. There are so many interacive and miltisensory displays keeping the kids happy, entertained, and learning. Employees like Konrad take this experience to the next level. I loved his joy and enthusiasm. He taught us so much. Thank you, Konrad! If you are thinking about going, do it, you will not be disappointed.
I have ordered egg and cheese farmer wrap and cappuccino person took my order and he forgot to give me till 10 minutes when I asked them they started preparing my order and and when I took my order I asked for egg n cheese farmers wrap and don't know they put some thing like meat in my wrap I have realised that while I am eating waste service this guys are providing to the customers
I went to this cafe with friends to share my secret place. I told them that their coffee and food are good. When I got there, two people were inside. One of them told me, 'This place is a hidden gem; you found the right spot.' Later, the other one also said, 'This cafe is nice.' LOL. They were excited to share how nice this cafe is.
We enjoyed Prosciutto pizza, garden salad, chicken panini, and latte. Everything was so good, and there was very good customer service from the owner. Thanks; we will definitely come back.

Food and beverages are standard. They always have a variety of cakes, pastries, and snacking options. The coffee is normal, nothing special. I loved the croissant and blueberry cakes! The service is quick!
I was so pleasantly surprised with my experience. The prices are fair and reasonable, the service was exceptional and the food was phenomenal. You have the choice to take the food to go or sit down- if you choose to sit they bring the food to you. The seating area isn't large but gives you options for seating groups or single people. They also have other snacks to buy like cookies and chocolate. I ordered a slice of pizza that comes with salad ($5.99) and a bagel with cream cheese ($3.99) it was fresh hot and delicious. The service and food quality is something I'd expect from a fancy and expensive restaurant however they give you everything you'd want in eating out but with a better price.
An overdue visit to this authentic coffee shop which we wanted to visit a while back and it did not disappoint. It is a middle of a commercial/office type area with decent amount of parking. We loved the service which was top notch from beginning till the end. This cafe has Italian goods specifically imported from Italy. We had the butter croissant, croissant caprese, cappuccino and orange/peach tea. Everything hit the spot! Next time we will have more breakfast items as they have a diverse breakfast menu. Thanks!
We took nashville poutine and nutella-banana waffles.
There were few chicken nugget pieces on top of poutine, more chicken would be appreciated given the price.
Syrup and whipped butter were served on side for waffles. Again, given the portion of the waffles they could have served more whipped butter or cream.
Overall, food tastes good. Everything was clean, customer service was standard.
*Their chicken and beef sausage are halal according to the employees working in this branch.

Absolutely adore this cafe! The worker was a kind face and I felt welcome immediately. It is a peaceful and cute place to sit and work (I was marking) and enjoy a yummy bite. Highly recommend
The breakfast bagel was delicious. The egg was fluffy and turkey meshed well with the flavours. Bagel nicely buttered. Enjoy the added salt and pepper.

Very good/tasty coffee in Montreal’s downtown area. I really liked their cappuccinos & cortados. We paired them with their lemon pies and cannolis options.
Food Not Cooked!
Did not like it at all. WELL DONE! I requested, Turkey bacon & Home Fries well done! NOT.....

What a delightful cafe. Chill cozy vibes in the morning and neat eclectic atmosphere in the evening. And the scones. So good!
The server was amazing. She even replaced one of the meals when we mentioned that the meat was not done as ordered. The food was fine, plenty and decently priced. I did not expect a gourmet experience, however I found the steak to be a bit bland.
I always ordered from Tim’s. Staff always nice and friendlyy. Usually on Saturday less people in the queue but today was exceptional. I decided to orders from apps.I thought will be faster than waiting in the queue. I was wrong. One of customers was talking to one of employees and telling them about her mobile orders via apps. I cant believe what I heard from one of the employees told to the customer that “doesn’t mean you order from mobile apps that you can get faster than people queueing” and what’s the point of us as customers ordering from the mobile apps if you can’t get our orders on time. Do you have a timeline for orders pick up? I wasn’t sure. Anyways, I was shocked that usually the staff was nice and friendly became very rude. You get cheap coffee with cheap service.
Service was superb, my daughter wanted a cold drink without coffee and whipped cream. So they made it! No fuss. My daughter was very happy that she got what she wanted, and they were so nice to her too. Thanks for a great experience!
Good croissants but not so good coffee. Very few people seem to know what a cortado is but most think they do. Overall it was ok. I would go again but not my first choice.
This food is really not worth the money. The Mediterranean Grilled chicken skillet egg comes with exactly 5 small cubes of chicken, and two paper thin pieces of fruits for almost 17 dollars??? Garden fresh vegetarian omelette is also very very basic, nothing special for 16 dollars. You can get way better value for your money at Crape Castle.
I wont be going here again ever.

Normally this place is good but just be careful of employees having bad days. All I asked for was Honey and the Asian manager rudely looked at me and didn’t even respond or acknowledged me even saying thank you. I was met with an “mhmm”.
Yes people have bad days, but take a break and a breather, don’t bring it onto the floor and give that energy to your customers. Sad to have experienced this unprofessionalism from a location I enjoyed going to.

I've been to this location several times. We love it. Menu is large with lots of variety (keto options too!) Picture shows some pancakes/waffle from their fall menu - was delicious!
Staff are always smiling 😊 everything is clean and if you go early in the morning it's quiet and a lovely place to catch up with a friend and have a breakfast date.
Closeby, reasonable prices, bottomless coffee. ❤️

Excellent Service and delectable food in a cute atmosphere. We arrived early in the day and had no issues getting seated. The staff were friendly and attentive, without being overbearing. Overall the food was great. All were delicious (I highly recommend the French toast) but the Belgian waffle was smaller than expected and therefor wasn’t quite filling. Good choice for those looking to have the punch of flavour but a smaller portion.
Ordered an iced café latte and a croissant. 3 people working, one left 10 minutes after ordering and only 2 employees left. Ordered at 3, took 10 minutes to get my coffee. Fine. Waited another 5 minutes before asking for my croissant. Barista rudely told me to wait. Fine. 3:30 I walked out without my croissant. Completely ridiculous. I have all the patience in the world, especially when under-staffed & busy. This was pure incompetence & just rude. Never again.
The Almond Croissant was just perfect. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to work or catch up with friends, this cafe caters to all. Your taste buds and your soul will thank you.
We ordered some garlic sausage, salami, a ribeye steak, spaghetti, halibut, penne bolognese, and a fig and lime sorbet and a vanilla ice cream tonight. The bread was nice and the butter which came with the bread was so flavourful.
The ribeye was very flavourful and delicious (as well as the veg which was served with it). The halibut was absolutely wonderful. The cured meats were delish. The pastas were tasty, too. My FIL thoroughly enjoyed the vanilla ice cream.

Absolute decadence ! Loved their in-house cured meats selections, had the duck pastrami and lamb salami 😋 even their homemade pickled veggies and honey mustards to pair with the meats were scrumptious !
Did half orders of the seared scallop and lamb special - beautifully balanced saltiness with sweetness in both dishes 😋😋
Loved the look and smell of the rose cocktail but was a bit on the sweet side
Atmosphere was lovely, restaurant patio and exterior looked like an Italian cottage in the countryside ! Patio was also accommodating for my puppy which is a big plus 👌🏻👌🏻
Overall, loved the food and can’t wait to come back and try more of everything !

Amazing food with original recipes! We wanted to lick our plates to savor every bit. Service was great as well.
Highly recommended.

I went to Avenue G for lunch and it was extremely disappointing. The menu seemed promising. First of all, the service was not good. The place was empty, no one was waiting, yet taking my order took forever and the person didn't know what sandwiches they had. Once I ordered, it took 15 minutes for someone else to just start preparing the sandwich and give it to me. The person decided to toast the tuna wrap I ordered by putting it in the oven. She didn't ask if I wanted it toasted. She then proceeded to almost burn it before giving it to me. It tasted good, but it was hard and crispy and slightly burnt. The portion was also quite small.
I have no problems with this location except the photos I am including show how full my coffee sometimes is. It's only one employee there who fills it like this. If I say something then it is filled to the fill line. Other than this it's a great place. Always polite staff. There was also a problem with one of their debit machines rejecting my card. I have the tap feature turned off.
Amazing special occasion dinner. Exceeded expectations. We needed a reservation for a weeknight and every chair was filled. We were seated immediately and the greeter was cheerful. Our server did a nice job walking us through the menus and we opted for the chefs selection of six dishes for a fixed price of $69 each which is a good value. The meal was soup, beet salad, charcuterie, gnocchi, chicken confit & halibut. The quantity of food was large but the quality was what shone! The cured duck pastrami was both unexpected and outstanding. Each of the dishes was perfectly prepared and showed creativity and an excellent example of bringing the most from a dish. For example the gnocchi which is a very mild dish was paired with a mushroom pesto. They have bar seating group seating and several intimate couples tables. My only criticism is the bathroom needs a bigger better exhaust fan.
It was our first visit to Cafe Brio, and we were blown away. We had unexpectedly decided to eat there for date night. We called and reserved a table. They informed us that there were only seatings at the bar, which didn't bother us at all.
When we arrived, the kind host greeted us and led us to our seats. The bartender was very helpful, and suggested some meals and beverages to us. He was pleasant to work with, and gave outstanding service. In fact, all of the hosts were fantastic. The service is excellent.
I liked how you could order half or full orders of each dish. We got half an order of mushroom risotto and the gnocchi! Both dishes were delicious and well-prepared. The gnocchi was more traditional, but with the addition of walnut basil pesto, it was impeccable. We got the full order of scallops sans bacon and an entire order of halibut for our main courses! The seared scallops were beautifully prepared! The halibut dish was perfectly executed. The fennel in the halibut dish provided some wonderful textures!
We split the crème brûlée for dessert! Oh my gosh, that was decadent and delicious! Shout out to the chef, crew, and personnel that go above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience.

Cozy cafe with a great ambience. The owner has filled the place with love through the tiny trinkets, books and art pieces displayed. Nice place to visit first or after if you are going hiking near Edward's Gardens or Wilket Creek.
One of the most delightful experiences I have ever had at a cafe. The owner (I assume) was very kind and caring when taking my order and preparing my food. The atmosphere is very calming, relaxing music, a book shelf and antique like decor. The food is mostly breakfast and lunch with some tasty drinks.
my favourite Starbucks location! I love that they are spacious, lots of place to sit and the service is just top notch! They are friendly and never once missed my order.
I redeemed by bday coupon just today and I made a mistake by placing my order in the wrong store. They still making my order anyway 🥹 Thank you so much!! You just made my day 😭

The place was half empty at 9.30 on a Sunday morning. The service was fast and the coffee was always nice and warm. My kids said that their waffles were not good and they didn’t eat them. They were very dry. Our breakfast was lacking taste, everything was there just they forgot to put salt and pepper. Hope that they can make the changes.
Good sandwiches and coffee. But also very courteous and graceful owner who also prepared our food. They deserve a visit.
A lovely small theatre space to see dance and theatre. I have seen all sorts of great shows here over the years.
If you are looking for a nice, cozy place to work, this is the place. The music volume and room temp are just right. And if you are a coffee drinker and know your coffee , you will be satisfied. The food hit the spot for a brunch snack. The owner is very attentive and welcoming. It's a sweet atmosphere and has a nice clean energy. 👌
Rossetti is a spacious, modern decorated, and nice café located in a strategic place in down town.
I ordered cappuccino and it was good. Also, I ordered chocolate tart and berries tart. Both tasted delicious and fresh, especially the chocolate one (chocolate tart is almost 6$ and the berries is 6$)
I have never tried the sandwiches and the croissant yet but they look fresh and delicious too.
There are two washrooms and they were filled and clean.
The server was nice and smiley.
All in all it was a nice experience and if you are looking to sit with your laptop or book to enjoy a cup of coffee with a delicious snack or treat, then give Rosetti a try 🥰

I have never tried the sandwiches and the croissant yet but they look fresh and delicious too.
There are two washrooms and they were filled and clean.
The server was nice and smiley.

A Starbucks that is located next to Chapters/Indigo and features seating area open to the Chapters store. Convenient location. Fast service, staff are good. Clean and well kept. Good experience!
Visited the other day with my wife and I’d say this was OK at best. It was a nice service for sure and I can’t fault the team. Their portion sizes are great. However, their food quality really left a lot to be desired. My wife actually liked hers. But my big breakfast was not great at all. Sausages were inedible and everything just tasted like bad oil. Maybe I just went on a bad day.
I had an incredible experience at this theatre. I hope for more contents like this in the future!
A nice and cozy cafe with delicious breakfast sandwiches. I found this place accidentally and so happy I decided to give it a try. Everything was made with fresh ingredients and the bagels were loaded. The coffee was smooth and tasty. The prices are very good, and the owner was a pleasant and nice guy. They have a small bookshelf with books if you need a quiet place to work or read. Highly recommend this place for everyday yummy breakfasts.
I recently visited this vibrant Italian café bakery and was impressed by the atmosphere and delicious food. The café was bustling with energy and the staff were friendly and attentive. The baked goods on display looked and smelled delicious, and I ended up trying a few different items. The bakery also offered a variety of sandwiches, croissants and sweets, all look fresh. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a lively and delicious Italian experience in heart of downtown Montreal.
Amazing drinks I have never been disappointed friendliest staff ever by far the best Starbucks
I was there with my daughters today. The renovations are so excellent. The bee exhibit is super informative. The staff members are awesome too. Very friendly. And one staff member in particular went above and beyond helping me with my screaming toddler in the shop. Was a very good experience can't wait to come back!
Bijan, the owner is superb sandwich maker. Every time I asked for all the veggies on toasted whole-wheat bread for a tuna sandwich because I love the magical combination of crunchy and juicy tastes, he laughed and promised “I will make one for you!” Check what I got in my mega tuna sandwich with toothpicks to hold stuff in place. $8.85 only for a nutritious and delicious lunch to go in this crazy world. Highly recommended and appreciated its existence within my reach area of working place.
Great spot for coffee and a croissant. Croissants are made fresh in small batches so you'll often get a warm one.
Plenty of seating inside with a small terrace. Clean chic decor. Even a couple of baby seats for those with little ones.

Can't say enough great things about this hotel! Immaculately clean. Roy at the desk was a gem. Dinner in the bar was great with friendly conversation, and they accommodated us when we said we needed our breakfast to be quick. Great location to visit the stunning Beacon Hill Park. Rooms are small, but that's to be expected for an historic hotel like this. Highly recommend!
Tried their smoothies which I feel can be made better. The decor is pretty nice tho. I took the blueberry smoothie which was okayish. However my husband took the mango one where they add turmeric and I could smell it with the sip I took - not my type.
Nice old place in the heart of James bay 10 min walk from down town no line up big and roomy ordered a full candaron breakfast first bite amazing. Tastes like home made bread vary happy with the size of the breakfast. The service is good. If you like a place for breakfast without a line up this is your place parking is easy too
Great service and ice coffee. Maybe on the pricier side but hey, it's Westmount! Thankful for the air-conditioning 🙏 🌨
Very friendly service and excellent specialty coffees. Hazelnut mocha was very smooth with light flavour. The maple syrup latte looks interesting for a future visit.
Pretty good place to grab a drink and a bite. It is bit pricey though and seating is always limited. Service was nice and pleasant. 👍🏻
The egg options are just warmed up, not made at the cafe, so not recommended for breakfast or brunch but good for coffee.
Beautiful modern theatre space, nice green room. Could use a second washer dryer for larger productions. And why is the main theatre painted dark blue? The patio and cafe are amazing and have WiFi (which is sometimes spotty). Staff is friendly and helpful.
The book launch party of my debut novel The Oyster Thief was held at The Theatre Center. The staff did a terrific job and all went smoothly. The space itself is cozy, reasonably priced, and accessible by public transit. The vibe is artistic and creative. Highly recommended for events and event-goers!
Awesome service if you come in early and don't have to wait in line. We ordered a venti cascara latte and a matcha frappuccino. They took out order and specification correctly and our drinks were made in record time. We ask for soy instead of milk and half sweet in our latte. The store was quite busy after we finished our drink.
If you go before 10, the portion leading to indigo is closed off.

The staff are friendly and super helpful. It's a fantastic venue for day long workshops with a cafe that invites creative group or solo table work, a roof patio, capacity for intimate lectures and discussions, and a grand studio for theatrical needs too. The interior design is simple and elegant.
